I agree with you Gary but this is what cities do big and small.

The small village where I grew up spent 20+ years and millions of dollars fighting the widening of a major road that goes through the center of town from 1 lane in each direction to 2. The road is finally getting widened but it took that long legal fight over something as stupid as a road. The payoff for that is lowering the speed limit to 30MPH(from 35) so the locals can write more speeding tickets.

NYC is wasting tax dollars fighting over big gulps...the list goes on
